Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is the fourth series of Assassin's Creed Games and the sixth installment after Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Assassin's Creed 3 published by Ubisoft. This game is released for both consoles, such as PS3 and PS4, PC's, Xbox 360 and Wii U in October 2013 and November 2013.
Gameplay
The game features three main cities; Havana, Kingston, and Nassau, which reside under Spanish, British, and pirateinfluence,
respectively. The game also features 50 other "unique" locations to
explore, with a 60/40 balance between land and naval exploration. Assassin's
Creed IV has a more open world feel, with missions
similar to those found inAssassin's
Creed, as well as fewer restrictions for the player. The world opens up
sooner in the game, as opposed toAssassin's
Creed III, which had very scripted missions and did not give players
freedom to explore until the game was well into its first act. The player will encounter jungles,
forts, ruins, and small villages and the world is being built to allow players
much more freedom, such as allowing players to engage, board, and capture
passing ships and swimming to nearby beaches in a seamless fashion. In addition, the hunting system has
been retained fromAssassin's Creed III,
allowing the player to hunt on land, and fish in the water.
A new aspect in the game is the Jackdaw, the ship that the player captains.
The Jackdaw is upgradeable throughout the game,
and is easily accessible to the player when needed. In addition, a new underwater
component has been added. The player has access to a spyglass, allowing the examination of distant
ships, along with their cargo and strength. It can also help determine if an
island still has animals to hunt, treasures to find, or high points to reach
for synchronization. An updated form of the recruit system
introduced in Assassin's Creed:
Brotherhood has returned, allowing Edward to recruit crew
members. While Kenway's crew will remain loyal to him, and can be promoted to
captain acquired ships, they cannot assist in combat or perform long-range
assassinations, as in previous games. Ubisoft removed this aspect of the
brotherhood system, believing it allowed players to bypass tense and
challenging scenarios too easily.
In the present day, at the offices of Abstergo
Entertainment — a subsidiary of Abstergo Industries — in Montreal, Quebec, players engage in
modern day pirating through the exploration of Abstergo's offices,
eavesdropping and hacking, all without combat. As well, various
"hacking" games, similar to previous cluster and glyph puzzles, are
present, that uncover secrets about Abstergo.
Multiplayer also returns, with new settings
and game modes, though it is only land-based
